Google Webfonts are transferred to the cache of your browser to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support the Google Webfonts or prevents access, content is displayed in a standard font.

Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library’s operator. It is theoretically possible – but currently also unclear whether and if necessary for what purposes – that operators of corresponding libraries collect data.

Embedded YouTube Videos

On some of our websites we embed YouTube videos. The operator of the corresponding plugins is the YouTube LLC 901 Cherry Ave. San Bruno CA 94066 USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection is made to servers from YouTube. YouTube will tell you which pages you are visiting. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your browsing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

When a YouTube video is launched, the provider uses cookies to collect the hints about user behavior.

Anyone who has disabled the saving of cookies for the Google ad program will also not have to expect such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also makes non-personally identifiable usage information available in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the browser from storing cookies.

On our website we offer you the possibility of using so-called “social media buttons”. To protect your data, we implement the solution “Shariff”. This means that these buttons on the website are only included as a graphic which contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the graphic you will be forwarded to the services of the respective providers. Only then will your data be sent to the respective providers. Unless you click on the graphic, there is no exchange between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information on the collection and use of your data on the social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the relevant providers. More information about the Shariff solution can be found here: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html

On our website we have included the social media buttons of the following companies:

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have reached our website via a Google-switched ad, Google AdWords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google-switched ad. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not intended for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google will recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was forwarded to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. As a result, cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers will see the total number of users who clicked on your ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, you will not receive any information that allows users to identify themselves personally.

If you do not want to participate in the tracking you can reject the required setting of a cookie – for example by means of a browser setting, which automatically deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or set your browser to accept cookies from the domain ” Googleleadservices.com “.

Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish to record any measurement data. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser you have to reset the respective opt-out cookie.

Using Google remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. The purpose of this feature is to present web site visitors within the Google ad network with interest-related ads.

On these pages, visitors can be presented with advertisements that refer to content that the visitor has previously called on websites that use the remarketing function of Google.

If you still do not wish to use the remarketing feature of Google, you can disable it by making the appropriate settings under http://www.google.com/settings/ads .
